We'd like to share a testimony from BTCP's founder, Dennis Mock his wife, Pat. The video was taken on December 12, 1982, just one week before the Mock family moved to Dallas Texas.

Dennis and Pat Mock stood before the congregation of Atlanta First Baptist Church, sharing a testimony at the beginning of their journey in serving the Lord. The couple spoke with unwavering conviction about a profound and transformative season ignited by God's call. Dennis, a successful lawyer in Decatur, Georgia, found himself at a crossroads, feeling the divine tug to leave his flourishing law profession and relocate to Dallas, Texas, for a higher purpose – to attend Dallas Theological Seminary.

As the Mocks addressed the congregation, they painted a vivid picture of the uncertainties they faced. Dennis revealed that the clarity of God's call did not dawn upon them immediately. It was a patient waiting, steadfast faith, and a submission to God's timing that eventually brought the guidance they sought. The couple spoke of the challenges, the internal wrestling, and the difficult decisions that marked their obedience to God's call, ultimately leading them to embark on a four-year adventure at Dallas Theological Seminary.

Little did anyone in that congregation anticipate the profound impact of Dennis and Pat's faithful response to God's call. Their obedience and commitment were instrumental in shaping their lives and became the catalyst for a remarkable ministry. Out of their journey emerged the Bible Training Centre for Pastors. This ministry would go on to play a pivotal role in the training of over 180,000 pastors worldwide who had limited access to formal seminary education.

The unfolding of Dennis and Pat Mock's story not only illuminates the faithfulness of God but also showcases the intricate ways in which individual obedience can contribute to a broader impact on the Kingdom. Their testimony stands as a testament to the unpredictable and awe-inspiring ways in which God can use ordinary lives yielded to His call for extraordinary purposes.

Transformed by Training: A Kenyan Pastor's Journey with BTCP
In this powerful testimony, Pastor David Muriu from Kenya shares a profound narrative of personal transformation and spiritual growth through his engagement with BTCP (Bible Training Centre for Pastors). Pastor Muriu begins by expressing his joy and gratitude for the opportunity to share the blessings he has received through BTCP, a transformative experience that has significantly impacted his life and ministry.

As he delves into his past, Pastor Muriu reflects on the challenges he faced as a witness for Jesus Christ and the lack of experienced guidance in addressing doctrinal issues within the church community. He sheds light on the prevalent discouragement from church leaders regarding theological education, with striking metaphors like "theology is a killer" and "seminaries are cemeteries."

The turning point in Pastor Muriu's journey occurs when he recognizes the inadequacy of decisions based solely on personal feelings, prompting him to embrace the necessity for formal training. Meeting Bishop Dr. Armstrong Cheggeh becomes a pivotal moment, as the bishop highly recommends BTCP as the solution to Pastor Muriu's quest for comprehensive and impactful training.

The testimony unfolds as Pastor Muriu vividly describes the unique and enriching training approach at BTCP. He highlights the contrast between his previous experiences and the method employed at the training center, where lecturers and teachers seamlessly guide students through the Scriptures, encouraging interaction and fostering an environment of deep learning.

Pastor Muriu articulates the diverse aspects of his training, from teaching principles and methods to the in-depth study of Bible doctrines, including Christology, angelology, and eschatology. He emphasizes the significance of having a quality Study Bible with references, underlining the thoroughness of the program that left him feeling blessed and equipped.

The narrative reaches its climax as Pastor Muriu recounts the impact of his BTCP graduation on both his personal journey and his role as a chaplain in the local community. The testimony concludes with a heartfelt expression of gratitude to BTCP and a declaration of the pastor's readiness to be a blessing to the Church in Africa.

Answered Prayer: Bible Training leads to healthy churches and healthy churches spread the Gospel!
Journey through the introduction of the BTCP curriculum by Pastor Noni Rincolalia to Anthony Syjuco, a pastor who had no seminary training. Struggling with the complexity of scholarly books, Anthony sought a concise yet precise curriculum, finding the answer to his prayer in BTCP.

In this video, discover how the BTCP curriculum revolutionized the approach to studying the Bible and interpreting it correctly. The language is clear, comprehensive, and the process is truly exceptional. Moved by this, Pastor Anthony shared the curriculum with elders, deacons, and fellow pastors, who enjoyed and benefited from it.

Pastor Noni challenged him to go beyond his church and teach this invaluable curriculum to other pastors facing inadequate training and financial constraints. Taking over his class, Anthony conducted 11 sessions per week, witnessing a powerful transformation in pastors' skills and personal Scripture study.

The BTCP curriculum provides precise, detailed steps to study the Bible effectively. Not only did it enhance his skills, but it also empowered him to train others. The impact is tangible and transferrable, evident in the growth of churches, like a 50-year-old traditional church that successfully restructured with the help of BTCP-trained leaders.

Glory to God for this incredible journey of growth and transformation!

TRANSCRIPT: My name is Jennifer Ostenson and I’m a recent BTCL graduate.
The BTCL curriculum is comprehensive, systematic, and integrated and the textbook is the Bible.
With the goal of growing in spiritual maturity to please God, this curriculum has been life-changing for me personally as my knowledge of God and his Word has increased, my love for him has grown, and my compassion for the Lost has deepened.
Because of our biblically illiterate culture, the BTCL curriculum is needed now more than ever so that the body of Christ can be grounded in the essential truths of our faith and better equipped to share these truths to a lost and dying world.
I hope you’ll prayerfully consider becoming a BTCL student where you will begin a life-changing journey to more deeply know and love the God of our Bible and the Bible of our God.
